Atty. Steven L. Maynard

Steve was a excellent lawyer, he repressed me and got what I wanted. I had my mom and stepdad get him as a lawyer, I got him a bunch of cases. Steve I know you can see what I'm saying here. I'll see you on the other side.

Kathy - I just heard about Steve's passing from Margo. I'm so sorry to hear it. He was such a good man. I remember when you two first started falling in love. I hope you and Callan are doing okay. Feel free to reach out to me if I can help in any way or if you just want to talk.

As a Public Defender in Nashua I often encountered Steve in the Court waiting for our cases to be called. He always impressed me as a kind and decent man. I also met him on occasion at the Amherst Town dump where we had friendly conversations together. I will miss him.

I just learned of Steve's death in Bar News and I'm so sad. Steve was a good lawyer and a really good man. He was funny and he was kind and nice. My heartfelt sympathy to Kathy whom I also haven't seen in a very long time. Kathy and Steve seemed like such a good match and I was so happy when they decided the same thing about each other. I'm sending the biggest hug to Kathy.

Oh Kathy, I just found out about Steve and my heart is so sad for you and the family. He had a great sense of humor and was one of the good guys. The world will miss him!!

Dearest Casey and Mary, I am heartbroken to hear of your loss. I am thinking of you and your families and pray you are finding peace in your memories of Steve. He is with heavenly angels.

I first met Steve in the mid-80s when I was a new caseworker at DCYF and he was a contract attorney representing us in juvenile court. His calm demeanor gave me the confidence I needed during tense hearings. At some point, I became friends with him and Casey and always enjoyed spending time with them. I loved talking to Steve about books and current events, as well as sharing donuts (!!). I was thrilled when they graciously offered to host our wedding at their house; Steve conducted the ceremony and Callan spoke as well. "Best day ever!" he declared as he hugged us goodbye. Steve was a good person - he always had sage advice, a great sense of humor, and a smile that lit up the room. I feel honored to have been friends and am heartbroken at his passing. Condolences to Casey, Callan, and the family.

Rest in Peace. Condolences to the entire Maynard family especially your dear sister Mary.

We are so sorry to hear of Steve's passing. I consider it was a honor and a privilege to be be able to Steve a friend and a fellow class mate. Lots of good memories from 'back in the day" and more recently how he was so helpful with to my son who he made such a great impression. My sincere condolence to Steve"s family and may all his memories live on.

I’ve known Steve since my Aunt Kathy introduced us when I was around 6 years old. I’d like to think it was my approval of him she needed for things to work out! A trip to Canobie Lake Park sealed the deal for him when he charmingly joined me on all the rides she wouldn’t. After that, I had the pleasure of being brought along on all the family summer vacations; laughing our way through Ireland, Canada, California, Nantucket, NYC, and France. I even lived with Steve and Kathy for a year where we grew even closer, sharing a love for music, photography, good stories, and great donuts. Navigating a somewhat turbulent time in my adolescence, I’ll never forget just how kind, patient, and understanding he always was. He had a subtle way of assuring me that he was rooting for me, and that he was proud of me. Steve, I miss you so much already. I promise to take care of your girls. I love you … and thank you.

One of my favorite times with Steve was when we all went to Miami Beach Marina and he got to meet Pedro Martinez. His look going from curiosity as he looked to see who it was we were walking towards, to astonishment as he realized it was his favorite baseball player, and which then, after getting to meet him and shake his hand, turned into just a constant smile for the rest of the day. Every time you’d look at him, he’d be there with just this big smile on his face, happy as a clam. It’s pretty much always the image that would pop into my head whenever I’d think of him.

I have known Steve since our Little League days. My sister and I lost our Father before their wedding. I for a short moment filled my Father’s shoes, when I walked Kathy down the aisle where Steve stood at the altar. Steve has filled those shoes from that day forward. Steve was a great husband, father, grandfather and friend to many, For all of us who knew Steve, he will be greatly missed. Rest In Peace Steve.

Steve I loved working with you at Kinghorn and Maynard and have so many memories. I will never forget your mischievous smile or your laugh or how your eyes would light up when you were planning your ski trips. Rest In Peace my friend. Casey, Callan and family I’m so sorry for your loss.

Met him when I was 5 he was 6. We had a “ little rascals” gang around Jeanotte’s market..When he played football it was like he was shot out of a cannon. His grin always devilish.He was very good to my mom in her golden years.One of Nashua’s favorite sons.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Steve's passing. As a former Nashua Police officer, I had several cases with Attorney Maynard representing his clients. Steve was an excellent attorney who was professional to the letter.

Cathy, so sorry to hear about Steve. Roland and Judy Gosselin

Kathy, we are so sorry for your loss of Steve. We first met Steve in your dating days and from then on we always enjoyed getting together or just meeting up with you both around Amherst. You two had a special relationship and were fortunate to have made many wonderful memories together. Please know you, and the Casey & Maynard families are in our thoughts.

Sorry to hear of Steve's passing. Graduated from Nashua High School with Steve and renewed our acquaintance after his return to NH from Colorado. We had many good times and memories made during our interactions in and out of the "courtroom". I had the privilege of knowing both Steve and Kathy C. during our early careers and have always considered them dear memorable friends through the years. Steve was a special person, as everyone has said, who got along with everyone. May he rest in peace and condolences to Casey and family.

Sorry to hear about your loss Sue our prayers are with you and your family. May he Rest In Peace.

Steve and I were friends from the first grade at St Christophers all the way through High School.I remember going to the High School prom with our dates.We both worked at Howdy beefburgers.I've had many great memories of Steve and will miss him.Steve was my lawyer during my divorce in 98.I grew up with his Mom and Dadand siblings and have great memories. My condolences to his wife and daughter and family.

Dear Casey, so sorry for your loss. Steve was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, friend and lawyer, but most importantly a good human being. May he Rest In Peace.

This is a real loss for the legal communities in Nashua and New Hampshire. Steve was also a kind man who was willing to mentor young Nashua lawyers, myself included. His legacy not only includes his important contributions to his clients and to the interests of justice, but also includes the life and career of his daughter, Callan, who followed in his footsteps and has made important contributions of her own as a Public Defender and in private practice.

Steve and I had some cases together. He was a fine lawyer and a decent man who worked hard for his clients. He was a credit to his family and his profession, and I am sad to learn of his passing. My condolences to his loving family.

I've known Steve all my life. Our families all grew up in the same neighborhood. Having married my best friend, Casey I saw first hand the great man he was. He was so kind, loving and devoted. I respected him as both a husband and father. We will mis his forever. Love you Stevie, Paul, Martha,Nick and Joey.

I am so sad to hear of Steve's passing. Casey-my thoughts are with you and your family at this time. May he rest in peace. Love, Sandi, Phil & Olivia Dei Dolori

May you rest in peace and fly high with the angels.

Met Muskie thru mutual friends Mike and Joyce Manning while in high school. He was a fun loving guy and always a good friend. Many good times at the beach and just hanging out with friends. He had the biggest heart and everyone who knew him was his friend. He will not be forgotten .

Steve was a fierce advocate for his clients who always tried to make their lives better You are missed Bob Parodi

I worked for Steve from January 1997 until we closed the office in the Indian Head Plaza in January 2015. Steve may have been my boss but he was also my friend. He was one of the kindest people I had ever met. He was a champion of the underdog and would take on cases even if people could not pay. Steve loved his family and was always so proud of Callan and all her accomplishments. I will miss you, my friend. My deepest sympathy to Casey, Callan, and his family.

I met Muskie back in the days we both worked at Howdy Beefburger. We became close friends and shared many memorable fun times together some of which will stay in the vault. Adult responsibilities took both of us us on our separate journey but those memories we created back then are still with me. Condolences to your family. I will think of you often.

I haven't seen Steve in years since our practices took very different courses. But my memories of him are very fond. He was always a straight shooter, honest and candid. My sympathies to all of his loved ones. I am sure he will be sorely missed but that your memories will bring you warmth.

Steve was a great guy. We will cherish the memories of 20 or more ski trips to Colorado, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, Banff, Montreal, Quebec ,France, Austria, Italy, and Switzerland. A softball stalwart for 20 years. A loyal friend. A guy you would want in your foxhole. He was one of the Good Guys. Rest well my friend.

Steve was a part of some of the most important cases in my career as a prosecutor. And in each I recall looking over at him and seeing that same grin come across his face. I knew my case was facing certain doom. So infuriating! Now I look back and realize how great it was to try cases against him. In all our dealings through the years, his graciousness shown through. A truly wonderful guy. Rest In Peace Steve. You deserve it. Sending thoughts and prayers to his family.

RIP Steve my fellow Howdy's worker. Dealing with customers probably helped a little in your legal career. I have fond memories of our working together. You may have been short in stature but I remember playing football against you and trying to tackle you was like trying to bring down a small bull. Condolences to your family and friends. You will be missed.

Rest In Peace Steve. Even though we were on opposites sides as defense attorney and prosecutor, you were always gracious and kind, with a great sense of humor. I learned a valuable lesson from you - always pour a cup of water out over the floor when you're in trial in Nashua - never over the table! We also had fun playing softball for the Nashua Bar back in the day.

Steve. I hope you finally forgave me. We were about 5’ 2” and the shortest guys in the NHS graduating class of ‘65. You were shocked when I returned home from Nam having grown 9 inches. We met again when you Joined my good friend Cliff K to form Kinghorn and Maynard Law. Many years later you occupied my office at Indian Head plaza. It is truly a small world. I hope you Rest In Peace up there where you earned a very special place.

I knew Steve for the entire career he had in Nashua, and we always got along well because we were always on the same side ., i.e., criminal defense attorneys . We shared many fun times at the early years of the Nashua Bar meetings where he and Bill Groff would outdo each other with 'short' jokes about each other ! The Nashua Bar picnics at Alpine Grove were memorable affairs as well, and let's just say that it was a great idea when the association decided to provide limo service to any and all members and guests who ' needed' a ride home. I was so happy when he married Kathy Casey, a person I had gotten to know separately in her excellent work at NDC. After he retired I would run into him and Kathy at political events in Amherst and that was a great time to catch up. I will miss him and my sincere condolences to his entire family.

So sorry for your loss. Steve was a good lawyer, but more importantly, a good man. He will be missed.

Rest in Peace, Steve. I was shocked to read of your passing, as we were both members of the Nashua High class of 65 and in our adult years, did many a battle at the Nashua District Court. I admired your soft spoken way that we did our jobs and win or lose, we always remained on a friendly basis. So sorry to hear you leaving us so soon and my condolences to your wife and family. May God bless and keep you.

Attended and graduated from NHS class of 65 with “Muskie”. I will always remember his smile and sense of humor. He was definitely a much better student than I was, but we shared several classes together. Everyone knew Steve and never knew anyone who didn’t like him. Steve will be missed. I’m glad to have had him pass through the pages that are my life.

Steve was my law partner for years but more importantly, my friend. So many memories that they overwhelm me. We worked hard but also played hard. Steve adored his family and loved practicing law. My years with Kinghorn and Maynard were the happiest of my career. He was so so proud when Callan followed in his footsteps. Rest In Peace my dear friend and love to Casey and all members of your family. I will cherish the memories!

When I opened my firm, Steve was right across the hall from me. He was always willing to chat about questions I had and was a huge support as I grew my practice. It was clear he loved what he did and was so proud of Callan for following in his footsteps. He was respected in our legal community and will be missed. My condolences to his family and friends.

Knew (Muskie) Steve back in the day. Worked at Howdy Beefburgers. Great guy. I think about those days now and then had great times in Steve’s VW. Rest In Peace my friend.

Beth and family, I am so sorry. I am also among the many people that love Steve. He is a very special soul and loved his family with all that he was. I am a better person because I knew him. I love you Maynard family.

I knew Steve for more than 50 years. I always found him to be a kind, gentle soul with a faithful smile and a deep, abiding love for his family. He will be missed.

We are so very sad about Steve’s passing. He was such an honorable, gentle, smart, kind and fun person who impressed all who knew him. His memory will live on in our hearts forever. We love you Steve, and we thank you for touching our lives! All our love to family and friends.
